Labor Day Closings
On August 27, your Current Members will be receiving an email to let them know that all locations will be closed for the Labor Day holiday on September 3 and reminding them that we have many other meetings throughout the week and to "plan ahead" to attend one. They can even link to the meeting finder for added convenience. A second email will be sent to those same members on August 31st.
We hope that our members use this as an opportunity to enjoy the long weekend and plan to stay on Plan! Please reinforce this message in your meetings to drive attendances next week (and hit your attendance goals!).

Start Your Day with an Omelette—Just Heat and Eat!
• New Heat and Eat Cup flavor, Garden Veggie Omelette (SKU 50036)
• Made with real eggs, flavorful red and green peppers, and chives
• 18 grams of protein and a PointsPlus® value of 4 per serving
• 2 cups per package
• Available at all locations by the end of September
• Two different prices will be tested at launch:
$5.95 in Zones A, C, and D;
$4.95 in Zone B (see October pricing pages for Zones and pricing)
The reason for the two different prices at launch has to do with the rising cost of eggs. We are interested to watch how this product performs in each market to gain guidance for launching future egg cup products.
Keep your eye on the Supply Chain weekly update to learn drop-shipment dates for Trad locations and ordering availability for At Work meetings.
